Someone next to him also explained: "I heard that he took a big order, and someone wanted a large number of weapons. He went out to negotiate in person, but he just escaped this disaster."
"Okay, let's leave it at that for Boss Jin. I also know about that order. It is indeed a big deal. The customers who placed the order are all our old customers, and they are still in the fifth area. They don't seem to be acting." As one of the organizers of the conference, the smuggling tycoon Piero said, he is a mixed race between the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu, and his mother is the daughter of a subjugated nobleman in Tianzhu, so he His appearance has a bit of Tianzhu style. He was often bullied in Datang because of this, but since Tianzhu was conquered by Datang, his good days have come. The Tianzhu route is always beneficial.
Through this kind of trade, he soon had his own fleet, and then, under the introduction of an acquaintance, he successfully transported a batch of private goods back to Datang through entrainment, and made a fortune. Cleaning up... In just four or five years, he became the most famous smuggling tycoon in the entire Datang Overseas Territory, holding nearly half of the overseas smuggling business in his hands. Pediatrics.
It was also through smuggling that he became one of the giants in the black market of Luzon in the Tang Dynasty. There are only a handful of people who can be compared with him in the black market of Luzon in the entire Luzon.
"Since Boss Pi is willing to guarantee, then this matter is over." The person who raised the question just now is known as the auction king and runs [-]% of the auction houses in Luzon's black market. He is also an existence that cannot be provoked: "Now Let's discuss it, do you have any good countermeasures for the court's actions?"
"This……"

Chapter 27 Ben Sanhao Lanshou, I Want to Cry
"This……"
Hearing the Auction King's inquiry, everyone in the meeting looked at each other in blank dismay. If you want them to do business, murder and arson are naturally no problem, but asking them to come up with ideas is embarrassing for others—it's not that they can't come up with ideas, and they can be the boss. Those who are powerful in the black market are naturally not stupid, and people with inflexible minds can't climb to their position.But this matter was too sudden after all, Li Zhen came so forcefully, and the situation was very urgent. By the time they reacted, all the roads in the fifth and sixth areas had been blocked, and the army might rush in at any time. It is really not that difficult to come up with a good countermeasure at a time of crisis.
"Before giving countermeasures, I think there is a problem that needs to be solved." Just when everyone was in a dilemma, a voice came from the audience, which attracted everyone's attention.
"It turned out to be Shopkeeper Tong from Wanbao Pavilion." Seeing this, the auction king smiled and said, "Let's talk about what's wrong with Shopkeeper Tong later. The fire is imminent now, and officers and soldiers may rush in at any time. We'd better discuss a countermeasure before we talk about anything else." thing."
Although the auctioneer was polite in his words, he meant that he didn't show Tong shopkeeper face at all, and the other people showed no surprise at all-the reason is very simple, none of the people present are small people. They also know that these two are old enemies, the kind of deadly enemies who will fight each other when they meet, and they know where the contradiction between the two is.
To put it bluntly, it is a professional conflict. Even if there is no conflict between the two of them before, as long as the two parties continue to work in their respective professions, sooner or later they will face each other—just like a policeman and a thief, a killer and a bodyguard, a gravekeeper and a grave robber Wait, born to be enemies.
Although the occupations of Auction King and Shopkeeper Tong are not deadly rivals, they are also opposites.
Let’s not talk about the auction king, who is an auction house, and the most important thing to do in this business is integrity. Even if he is a black auction house, it is still a rule that he must abide by—otherwise, the customer will You have photographed fake products here, can you be happy in your heart?Even if you agree to compensate afterwards, the customer's impression of you will be greatly reduced, so why would they still come to you to buy things?
And what does Shopkeeper Tong do?
The name of his shop is Wanbao Pavilion. If you don't know the name, you may think it sells luxury goods.
It's just that although the name is Wanbao Pavilion, shopkeeper Tong's shop is not full of treasures - in fact, Wanbao Pavilion is just opened by him to deceive people, and his real occupation is actually a fake.
He can make everything from emeralds and jade to treasures and antiques, and even gold and silver coins, and the technology is so superb that it is almost possible to confuse the real ones, especially now that the technology is not so advanced that it cannot be tested by scientific means, and the cost of counterfeiting is greatly reduced.Therefore, shopkeeper Tong sold the fakes he made in the name of opening Wanbao Pavilion and made huge profits—and in his Wanbao Pavilion, nearly [-]% of the treasures were fakes. The goods are placed in a mixed manner, which is very tricky for many ignorant pedestrians.
Even the auction king fell into his hands more than once, and he sold fakes several times through his hands, losing a lot of reputation and offending several customers.
Over time, the conflict between the two sides naturally intensified, and they became outright enemies.
However, although they are enemies, the business between them has not been cut off-because although there are many fakes in Wanbao Pavilion, there are indeed many rare treasures, which were collected by shopkeeper Tong through various means. A lifetime of painstaking efforts, and these treasures are coveted by the auction king, so even though he was tricked, the auction king can only recognize him, at most he will beat him up afterwards.
The same shopkeeper Tong is far less powerful than the auction king. Although he hates him very much, he dare not stop doing his business. Every time he comes to the door, he greets him with a smile, but even though he cannot be the auction king, he never gives in. If you should sell fakes, you still have to sell them, and if you should be cheated, you should still be cheated. Anyway, the big deal is that you will be beaten afterwards. The underworld has its rules, and he must not dare to kill himself...
Although he is often beaten up, shopkeeper Tong is not afraid of the auction king at all, otherwise he would not sell fakes to him again. At this time, he was questioned by the auction king, and he sneered and retorted: "But this matter is very important. If you don't If we solve it, even if we come up with a hundred solutions, it won't work at all."
"What do you mean?" Hearing Tong's rhetorical question, the auction king was taken aback: "You mean there are spies among us?"
"Wow!"
The crowd burst into an uproar:
"A spy? Where did the spy come from?"
"That's what shopkeeper Tong said. Did he find something?"
"Don't talk, everyone, first listen to what shopkeeper Tong has to say?"
"..."
After the commotion quieted down, shopkeeper Tong gave the auction king an idiot-looking look, and explained slowly: "Isn't this an obvious thing? Don't you all think about it carefully, which one of you bosses here is not a day-to-day manager?" Busy people? Which one doesn't often run around outside? It's rare to have a chance to gather together, but just as we got together, the imperial court took action, and all the exits were blocked, even the secret exit we left behind. Being blocked... Don't you think it's strange?"
"That said, it's really a bit strange."
"Could it be that there are really spies among us?"
"But all of you present here are well-informed, so it's impossible for anyone to be a spy, right?"
"The person who can report the letter may not necessarily be the one here, can't it be each of us's confidantes?"
"But in this way, the scope of the search will be too large, not to mention time will not allow it."
"..."
"What do you think?" Piero asked shopkeeper Tong: "Since you asked the question, you should be able to find out the traitor among us, right?"
Shopkeeper Tong shook his head and smiled wryly, "Boss Pi, you really think highly of me. If I had this ability, where would there be only one Wanbao Pavilion?"
"Then what should we do? If we want to conduct a large-scale investigation, there is definitely not enough time. Li Zhen will attack at any time outside. If there is really a spy among us, it is impossible for him to give us the time to find him. Yes." At this time, another boss, the Weapon King asked, this is also a prince, with the same status as Piero, his arsenal monopolizes [-]% of the weapons supply in the dark world, and his technology is very good, already comparable to the army standard weapon.
I even heard that he has already started imitating artillery. It is said that the progress is very gratifying. In half a year at most, the first cannon with the same quality as the cannon made by the government will be produced. By then, his status will rise even higher. All the businessmen and pirates would beg him to truly surpass those big bosses and reach the position of the pinnacle king of the underworld.
Chapter 1081
Chapter 28 hands-on in advance
It stands to reason that the profession of the King of Weapons and Jin Ya is also a bit conflicting, because Jin Ya is a broker, and he sells whatever the client wants, so part of his business is the sale of weapons.It's just that most of the weapons provided by Jinya are second-hand goods, and the price is lower than that of the King of Weapons. In addition, weapons are only a part of Jinya's business, so the conflict between the two is not that deep, and neither is Jinya. Treat him as an enemy.
But the King of Weapons has a bit of resentment towards Jin Ya. After all, Jin Ya is also in the arms business, and his weapons are cheaper. Although they are second-hand goods, they are all exiled from the army. The quality is still very reliable. The cheap price in the market will inevitably have an impact on the sales of his weapons, but this impact is not enough to make him resent the gold teeth—not to mention that the casting of weapons requires a lot of iron ore, regardless of whether it is in the Tang Dynasty or overseas. Whether the scale is large or small, all iron mines are controlled by the imperial court.The King of Weapons has a big family business, and it is impossible for him to provide so much ore by himself. At this time, the energy of Gold Tooth is needed... So not only did he not dare to offend Gold Tooth, but he still asked for it.
"It's really troublesome, let's do it..." Seeing that everyone present had no choice, the auction king finally thought of an idea: "Since everyone is here, it proves that everyone wants to protect the interests of our No. [-] area. Thinking about it, we should have our own ideas. In this case, let's write out our respective methods, and let a few big bosses jointly decide whether it can be done—anyway, there may be spies among us, but the big bosses definitely won't do it. Possibly a spy of the imperial court."
The Auction King's method is not very clever, but it is indeed the best method at present - the premise is that if there are really spies among them, and if they quietly praise a few big bosses, it can be regarded as an auction. Kiss their ass.
"This is indeed a good way, so let's do it this way." Several big bosses discussed it and thought it was a good way—after all, although everyone belongs to the dark world, they really didn't use so much It's the first time they've done such a meeting, so if they don't have experience, they won't be able to do it perfectly.
……
"I really didn't expect that such a small place is responsible for nearly [-]% of the black market transactions in Nanyang. It's incredible... But why is there no one?"
When all the mafia bosses gathered together to discuss how to deal with Li Zhen, Li Zhen was still wandering around in the fifth area, but now he was very depressed, because it was almost an hour since he walked around, and he only saw There are two shop owners, and the rest of the shops either have closed signs or don't open the door no matter how hard they knock, but it makes him very depressed.
"..." The handsome guy leading the way heard cold sweat on his forehead, but he was full of slander in his heart: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Now the news that your old man appeared in the fifth area has already spread all over the illegal area. Those of us Little gangsters usually collect protection fees, kidnap, blackmail, sell illegal goods, and occasionally use knives to make money. They bully ordinary people. Where have you seen a big Buddha like you? Who would dare not open their eyes? Are you provoking you? Besides, you are so resolute that you are almost ready to destroy the fifth area, and it is too late for us to run, so how dare you come out and cause trouble?"
Fang Yiai interjected at the right time: "Your Highness, there is something that I don't understand."
No need for Fang Yiai to ask, Li Zhen knew what he wanted to ask: "You want to ask, I clearly told you to do it in three to five days, why did you act in advance?"
"Your Highness is wise, this is what this subordinate wants to ask."
"The reason is very simple, because I want to catch them by surprise."
"Unprepared?" Fang Yiai was puzzled for a moment, but understood in a blink of an eye: "Your Highness, you don't believe in the hidden stake you set up?"
Because there is a handsome old man (the name of the handsome guy is too shameful, I will call him handsome old man from now on), so Fang Yiai did not say the name of Jin Ya, but replaced it with a hidden pile.
